Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is an allied health science dealing with both physically and mentally ill clients. Occupational therapy uses the day to day activities of work, self-care, leisure and play to enhance development of skills and possibilities. It may include adapting the work or environment as per the present abilities of the client, to achieve maximum independence and to enhance the quality of life. It is the job of an Occupational Therapist to figure out which areas are affected and how we can assist that person in performing these activities in a more functional and successful way.

Occupational therapy interventions include helping children with disabilities to participate fully in school and social situations, helping people recovering from injury to regain skills, and providing supports for older adults experiencing physical and cognitive changes. Our services typically include:

An individualized evaluation, during which the client/family and occupational therapist determine the person’s goals

Customized intervention to improve the person’s ability to perform daily activities and reach the goals

An outcomes evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and/or make changes to the intervention plan
